The middle-aged man, though puzzled, dared not privately look at the contents of the paper now nor directly ask what it contained. He didn't understand why the elder didn't hand him the paper directly, but since the elder requested it, he respectfully bowed, packed away the other items, and retreated from the grass shed.
Zuo Feng was also somewhat puzzled by Yao Xun's actions, and he couldn't understand it either. Zuo Feng suppressed his curiosity until the middle-aged man was far away and entirely out of sight before asking aloud.
"Elder Yao, what's written on this paper? Why did you ask him to come tomorrow to get it?"
Yao Xun glanced casually at Zuo Feng and then slowly replied, "Didn't I promise to give you a prescription when I asked you to brew wine before? If you no longer want it, I'll just give it to that person, and you can't blame me for not keeping my promise."
